How to install emmet plugin

Meta Chuh

the new, built in plugin manager replacement is called Plugins Admin and is located at the menu Plugins > Plugins Admin..., as seen at the screenshot below.

note: plugins admin does not contain all plugins, as some of them have not been submitted to the official notepad++ plugins list by the plugin developer.

I can see only “Open Plugin Folder…” (Notepadd++ 7.6.4 or 7.6.5)

Usually that happens with a non-standard installation method. Did you use the installer, or the zip/7z/minimalist portable version? If the installer, did you put it in the normal location, or specify a different directory? If the portable, what directory did you put it in?

(Also please go to Notepad++ menu ? > Debug Info > Copy debug info into clipboard and paste in your reply – this will show us what Notepad++ can see about its environment)

I used installer and the normal location.

Notepad++ v7.6.5 (32-bit)
Build time : Mar 29 2019 - 02:46:18
Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : ON
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 7 (64-bit)
Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll EmmetNPP.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PythonScript.dll

Thanks.

I would think with those answers that you would see Plugins Admin.

I see that you’re in Admin mode. I wouldn’t think that would influence whether Plugins Admin is available. WIth my portable, I can run in Admin mode and still see Plugins Admin. Maybe @Meta-Chuh or one of the others with an installed version readily available can confirm that admin-mode works with plugins admin on 7.6.5 32-bit.

Oh, I wonder if something was messed up on the GUP updater. Can you give us a paste from dir c:\program files (x86)\noteapd++\updater? so we can see if you have all the files necessary for the internal updater (which Plugins Admin relies upon, IIRC).

hi @Marcin-Po @PeterJones et al.

yes, notepad++ plugins admin will show up and work in admin mode.

admin mode will be activated automatically if windows user access control (uac) is disabled, and you will see Notepad++ [Administrator] at the notepad++ title bar.

one thing that can cause what you see is, if the plugin list is missing.
please go to plugins > open plugins folder... and look for a folder called Config. this has to contain a file called nppPluginList.dll, which contains the plugin list.

if it is missing, please re-install notepad++ 7.6.5. 32 bit over your existing notepad++ by using the installer from here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.5/npp.7.6.5.Installer.exe
(deinstallation of the existing notepad++ is not necessary)

important: when you re-install notepad++ over your existing notepad++, make sure that the installer options plugins and plugins admin are enabled.

@Alexander–Rudenko

go to the notepad++ menu plugins > open plugins folder to open your plugins folder, and open the folder EmmetNPP.

check that the files _PyV8.pyd, editor.js, npp_emmet.py, PyV8.py and a folder called emmet are present.
if not, copy them from the EmmetNPP folder inside of emmet-npp.zip.

if everything is at it’s correct place, the expand abbreviation will behave as seen at the screencast below:

@andrecool-68

yes, nicely spotted.

it’s the upcoming ComparePlus by @pnedev
(also the heavenly creator of plugins > open plugins folder... 😉)

big and awesome new changes and features to the old compare plugin, like differential red/green highlighting in diff lines for removed/added text, instead of a single colour, and much much more. 👍

Insert your pictures to the forum this way

@Alexander-Rudenko

i think there’s something wrong with the pythonscript plugin on your system.
we will need to wait for help of one of our pythonscript specialists to maybe solve that if possible. (maybe @PeterJones or @Ekopalypse ? )

@andrecool-68

the compareplus plugin is not released yet, this is just a test build from his project.
https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/commits/master
i don’t know when it will be released.

ps: if you have any idea why @Alexander-Rudenko 's pythonscript does not work, you could both continue in russian if it is easier.

andrecool-68

@Meta-Chuh
I will compile the project myself)))

@Alexander-Rudenko
I can’t see any picture - I always get the error that my ip is blocked.
Do you mind embedding the picture like @andrecool-68 described it?

In addition would you please share your debug-info from ? menu?

What happens if you open the console? (Plugins->PythonScript->Show Console)

@Meta-Chuh
uuuhhh - I’m promoted to be a specialist :-) My name is Eko, – Eko palypse –
and I have the license to script :-D

Meta Chuh

@Ekopalypse 00/24/7 😉
here are the pictures as in-line, but if your provider’s ip range is blocked, you will also only be able to see them via proxy, tor or vpn.

Ekopalypse

@Meta-Chuh

LOL

I’m using the tor browser already, actually I think this is the source of the problem - not sure.

Yes, I guess you are right, the PythonScript installation seems to be corrupt.

@Alexander-Rudenko
would you mind open a command shell and execute the following two commands
from the C:\Program Files\Noteapd++\plugins folder?
dir /b /s pyth*
dir /b /s config\pyth*
What is the output?
